Here’s a natural product isolation paper that was published in ACIE. Yonghui Zhang and co-workers report on the isolation of asperchalasine A, which induced G-1 phase cell cycle arrest by reducing the expression of cyclin A, CDK2, and CDK6 in cancer cells but not in normal cells at 20 micromolar (pretty high concentration so not so potent in my opinion).

Phil Baran and co-workers reported in JACS on a synthesis of dixiamycin via electrochemical dimerization. I usually think of Kevin Moeller from Washington University in St. Louis when I see electrochemical reactions.
